It doesn’t get prettier than this. One of our guests, described Watauga Lake as Lake Geneva in the NorthEast corner of Tennesee. Our house sits atop of the mountains in Appalachia at 4500 feet. Because we are in the Cherokee National Forest, there are very few homes on the lake which makes the views prettier than normal. In addition, the lake gets warm early in the season. You can swim from April through late October. It is a short walk to the private marina and gazebo, where there is a private covered marina; Fish Springs will bring a rental boat to an open slip for you if you'd like or you can bring one yourself. In the winter, it is an amazing home located 20 miles from a handful of skiing mountains including Sugar, Beech, and Appalachian. Our home, completed in late November 2009, looks like something straight out of a movie with driftwood trees inside the house as well as indoor and outdoor water falls. You can be busy every minute, or simply sit by the water's edge and relax.

    What an incredible getaway! Whispering Pines was so much more than we expected. The home itself was built so thoughtfully and with so much imagination. Attention to detail in every nook and cranny made for the most magical place for our children. It really felt like something out of a storybook, especially the bunk room where the kids stayed. A mountain trip had been on our son's bucket list for some time and this exceded all of his expectations. The second we left he asked when we could return. The home is well maintained and cozy. It had just about anything we could think of to make ourselves feel at home and to host family meals. While there we enjoyed hiking, exploring the lake, sitting around the fire, and the kids loved playing outside. At night we enjoyed the fireplaces, lovely fountain, and rustic interior. There was plenty of room to gather together or separately. The host was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and truly excited to share this wonderful home with us. He was available to answer any questions we had to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We are already planning our next visit!

    We definitely enjoyed this Mountain Home. It was so peaceful. The house was everything it was supposed to be and then some. We have already laid the groundwork to stay here again next year when we come to town. And my host. I cannot say enough of how quickly he was able to help me with one issue that I was needing help on. And took all the time I needed to assist me. 100% First class place and host. We enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you Mr. Tom.

    Very quiet property with a beautduil interior. Plenty of room for the 3 of us that stayed there with a large kitchen to cook in every night. Temperatures were verty hotnout so we never got to indulge in the hot tub, but it did look very inviting. This is a great place if you want to get away and be with nature in a beautiful home.

    Were very impressed with the communication from the listers. House was very clean. Beds could use a little upgrading but we didnt want to complain because we were just so incredibly blessed to be away. Quiet and very close to the marina. The slip wasnt quite big enough for our boat so we used the marina right before the neighborhood and they were amazing there. Beautiful place, beautiful stay, and lot's of memories.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Whispering Pines, this property is set in a very quiet and secluded neighborhood near Lake Watauga. Its very cozy inside with multiple fireplaces and enough rooms to spread out when visiting with large groups. The hot tub is located in a perfect spot to provide some privacy. We spent a warm afternoon outside grilling and making s'mores in the fire pit. The house is located about half an hour from a proper grocery store in Elizabethton so stock up while your out. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Tennessee.

    Wonderful property and hosts. Just the place and time we needed to get away, relax and use as a home base as we explored johnson city and Kingsport. Mountains and lake were amazing. Would definitely book again. The place had everything we needed. A great place to just be in the moment.

    The cabin was very nice. It was nice having the dock area to use for swimming and fishing. We enjoyed sitting outside under the covered deck because of the rainy week we had. The owner had contacted me several times to see how things were going. Plenty of room for every and we would definitely stay there again in the future.

    We enjoyed our stay but it was misleading saying a short walk to the private deck . We enjoy walking but with a group that wasn’t considered a short walk and then inclines . We ended up driving up the road a ways and swimming at the lake . The house is perfect and host stayed in touch . We enjoyed our stay . Thank you

    We have stayed in this home several times over the past few years and had to leave this trip 3 nights earlier than expected because I received a call that my mother was dying. We spent several hours cleaning the house before we left and I notified the owner we were leaving. He sent me messages saying that we could book make up days 5 days after we left. 7 days after we left it appears his cleaner showed up and blamed us for trashing the house, and said we had animals in the home which was untrue. The day after my mom died he decided to write a nasty review and sent photos that appear to be a rodent that got in his home some time after I left and before the cleaner arrived. He then accused me of leaving guests behind after we left. Completely outraged after so many good years visiting this home.
